About this board game
We Care: A Grizzled Game is a cooperative board game for 2–5 players, with each game taking about 30 minutes. Players become healthcare professionals on the front lines of a terrible pandemic, working together to provide care while facing overwhelming pressure.
Hospitals are filling with patients, resources are limited, and every decision matters. The team must use what it has wisely while trying to treat everyone in need. Alongside the spreading disease, players must contend with the constant stress of the job and the danger of suffering a mental breakdown.
Health is another ever-present concern. Healthcare professionals risk contracting the illness themselves as they continue their work, making the struggle both personal and shared. Success depends on the group managing the crisis together and supporting the effort against the epidemic.
- Players: 2–5
- Play time: About 30 minutes
- Setting: Healthcare professionals responding to a terrible pandemic

Based on The Grizzled and inspired by current world events, We Care places players deep in the trenches of a healthcare crisis. Its focus on cooperation and difficult pressures reflects the demanding reality faced by those battling disease on the front lines.
The game’s purpose extends beyond the table. Part of the proceeds from sales of We Care goes to a healthcare NGO, allowing players to support efforts against the real-world pandemic while confronting a fictional one together.
